El Cerrito
Discover El Cerrito, the small Bay Area city where big
things are happening. Centrally located in the East Bay and
served by both the Del Norte and El Cerrito Plaza BART
stations, El Cerrito enjoys a close connection to all the
Bay Area has to offer. Interstate 80, BART and AC Transit
link us with San Francisco, Berkeley and its University of
California campus, Oakland, and Walnut Creek.
With other Bay Area cities reaching saturation and limiting
new development, new projects are still happening in El
Cerrito. Many planned or active development projects center
on San Pablo Avenue, the lively commercial corridor we share
with neighboring communities.
Focused on smart growth, El Cerrito is leading the way in
the redevelopment effort that’s raising our profile around
the San Francisco Bay Area. A fresh look is
blossoming on our Avenue now, thanks to the City’s
three-year, $7.5 million streetscape
enhancement project. In addition, the City proudly
completed a $12.9 million new Civic
Center to better serve both residents and businesses.
Yet El Cerrito retains a tranquil,
welcoming environment that offers uncommon advantages
for businesses and residents
alike. Small-town friendliness and vibrant urban
energy, and the can-do attitude at City
Hall that’s needed to grow your business. El Cerrito
is the new place to be for your
business in the Bay Area. Come take a closer look. It
all starts here.
